5 we had 45 Fathom, courfe Sand and 1^99. 
Shells ; being now off the Shole , as ap- 
pear’d by the Sand and Shells, and by hav- 
ing left the Coral. By all tliis I knew we had 
fall’n in to the North of the Shole, and 
that it was laid down wrong in my Sea- 
Chart: fori found it lie in about 27 deg. 
Lat. and by our Run in the next day, I 
found that the Outward-edgeof it, which 
I founded on , lies 16 Leagues off Shore. 
When it was day we fleered in E. N. E. 
with a fine brisk Gale ; but did not fee the 
Land till 9 in the Morning, when we 
faw it from our Topmafl-head, and were 
diftant from it about 10 Leagues ; having 
then 40 Fathom- water , and clean Sand. 
About 3 Hours after we faw it on our 
Quarter-Deck , being by Judgment about 
6 Leagues off : and we had then 40 Fa-

day and the next, we took feveral Sights 
ot it, at different Bearings and Diflances ; 
from which it appear’d as you fee in [ 7 V

would Note once for all, That tiic Lati- 
tudes mark’d in the Draughts, or Sights 
here given , are not the Latitude of the 
Land, but of the Ship when the Sight was 
taken. This Morning, Jugusi 
as we were ftanding in we faw feveral 
large Sea-fowls , like our Gannets on the 
Coafl of England, flying three or four to-
